In this episode of Brew Strong, Jamil and John Palmer discuss the issues surrounding brewers having to brew multiple batches to fill a single fermenter. Ideally, a brewer would simply have a kettle capacity that matched the fermenter being used. But what if you are having capacity issues, and you need to brew 2 or more batches to fill your largest fermenter for your flagship beer? When to pitch, when do you aerate, and how much yeast do you pitch? These are all issues that will affect the final beer flavor. And, for really large batches, economics are a big factor - time and costs of ingredients. Tune in as our experts walk through the many scenarios surrounding multiple fills, including what challenges you might face and how to work through them.
